A further object of the invention is to provide a bung or sput having out out portions at the inner end thereof so that the entire contents of the withirawn from the container. With the oregoing and other objects in view which wili appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination ani arrangement of parts and in the cietaiis of construction hreinaftr described ami ciaimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodimentof the inventin herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of What is ciaimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
